MAM is why I have a seedbox.

Fair, lol.

I installed mine on OPNsense. I used the OPNsense documentation: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/wireguard-client.html. Here is another guide: https://www.comparitech.com/blog/vpn-privacy/road-warrior-vpn-wireguard-opnsense/. And yet another if you want to set it up in docker: https://linuxiac.com/how-to-set-up-wireguard-vpn-with-docker/. However, the firewall rules can get a bit messy.

Why add the third party? Just run an instance of wireguard on your home network and call it a day.

So I don’t use overseerr but I do use jellyseerr with my emby setup. Both are just webservers that use a webpage/site that you can login to and add/search for content that will then be sent to your -arr stack and finally indexed into Plex/Emby. You can install overseerr on whatever machine you like, but to access it your other devices need to know where to find it (ie IP:port of hosting machine). You should really set up overseerr on a machine that runs continuously, so like others have said, likely the machine you run Plex on.

I personally take this a step further and use an internal custom domain name (ie. jellyseerr.mymedia.com) that can be accessed from any device on my internal network. I set my router to capture all domain requests for “mymedia.com” and redirect them to a reverse proxy (swag in my case) that will then forward the requests to different IP:port combinations based on subdomain. For example: emby.mymedia.com, jellyseerr.mymedia.com, radarr.mymedia.com, etc. This allows you to access all your services using easy to remember domain names instead of IP addresses.

This is always my go to.

Nice! I’ll have to check it out. Scifi and fantasy are 90% of what I read/listen to, lol.

What are you listening to? I’m just about finished with Rebecca Yarros - Fourth Wing.

That looks great. Seems it would work well if you don’t want the server options that come with audiobookshelf.

MAM is by far the best. MAM coupled with audiobookshelf is an Audible replacement.

No need for VPN, but keep the SSL on SABnzbd. At some point I should probably switch over from nzbget, but it’s been solid for years.

Thanks! I’m here trying to Google fu all of these words. I’ve never even considered looking for ways to get this type of content for free. Good to know this exists!

Yeah, not sure what I was expecting. Maybe a PSA about trafficking

What is a D. V. D.?

Just wanted to give another upvote to audiobookshelf. It’s a great audible replacement and allows for local downloading and server syncing. Great project!

That’s exactly something a guilty party would say, lol.

Prepare thine cochlear senses, oh noble audiophiles, for I’ve stumbled upon a sonorous marvel that’ll make your eardrums jitterbug like caffeinated squirrels at a techno rave. Upon placing these auditory gems upon your cranium, it’s as if you’re spelunking through the caverns of sound, where the bass is so profound that it feels like a cosmic beluga whale serenading a black hole.

Not sure why this is down voted other than some people may not consider it ‘casual’. An -arr setup with usenet is fantastic! The setup has a bit of a learning curve, but it’s well documented in multiple places. Once it’s setup, it’s full automated and you just click on the stuff you want.

Look into snapRAID. It does parity based data protection (up to 6 I believe). It’s free, opensource. I use it to run a nightly sync and scrub of ~3% of my total disk space, so in a month it scrubs everything to protect against bit rot. It then shoots me a nightly email with any errors or issues it detects. There is a learning curve, but I’m happy to provide some basic scripts for you to get it running in Windows. You can also run it on top of pooling solution such as Drivepool.

Yep, been using them for ~8 years. Never had a reason to use anything else.
